<p><b>Syntax:</b> <i>worker_connections number</i>
</p><p><b>Default:</b> <i> </i>
</p><p>The worker_connections and worker_proceses from the main section allows you to calculate maxclients value:
</p><p>max_clients = worker_processes * worker_connections
</p><p>In a reverse proxy situation, max_clients becomes
</p><p>max_clients = worker_processes * worker_connections/4
</p><p>Since a browser opens 2 connections by default to a server and nginx uses the fds (file descriptors) from the same pool to connect to the upstream backend
